Diff with file on remote branch

[rndware]

Currently there is not a plugin I'm aware of that can do a diff between the currently opened file and the same one on a specified branch name.

This is extremely handy if you're working on a feature branch, master gets updated, and you want to check what conflicts might arise if you attempt to merge the file.

I've just created a working POF:

#52

I'm wondering if this could be part of a forked 'git diff' type of extension that could diff between refs of all different types.

Food for thought :)

Thanks for the idea. That would be handy though that would be a feature for "git diff" type extension as you wrote. It would essentially be:

git diff origin/remote-branch-name -- path/to/file-for-comparison.txt

I'm closing this for now, but feel free to reopen it if you think we should continue exploring this.
